PROCEDURE FOR ENGINE STARTING
NOTE:
We recommend that before attempting to boost start, you charge the
battery for 10-15 minutes. This will improve the chance of a first time
start, particularly with bigger engines. When the battery is completely
flat, you must charge the battery for 10-15 minutes before attempting
to start, otherwise you may cause damage to the vehicle electronic
systems.
1. Check that the ON/OFF switch is in the OFF position.
2. Connect the cables as for normal charging - see para c and d, page 6.
3. Check that the CHARGE/BOOST START switch is in the CHARGE position.
4. Switch the ON/OFF switch to the ON position.
5. Turn the key in the vehicle’s ignition to ‘START’, and get an assistant to
switch the CHARGE/BOOST START switch to BOOST START position.
IMPORTANT: If the engine fails to start almost immediately, you MUST return
the CHARGE/BOOST START switch to CHARGE position after a maximum
period according to the BOOST START DUTY CYCLE - i.e. 10 secs ON followed
by 30 secs before retrying.
IMPORTANT: Failure to do this could damage some vehicle electronic
equipment, the battery, and possibly the Start ‘N’ Charge unit which may
invalidate your guarantee.
THERMAL OVERLOAD
This Booster/Charger is provided with a Thermal Overload cut-out.
Should the Duty Cycle be exceeded or should the unit overheat for any
reason, the thermal overload will intervene, shutting down the charger.
If this occurs, wait for 15 - 20 minutes, depending upon ambient temperature,
before attempting to re-use.
An amber indicator lamp is found on the top panel, which will illuminate when
the overload has intervened. It will extinguish once it has reset and the unit is
ready for use once again.
